00:00Hello there my dear friends, and welcome back to another very exciting Star Wars video.

00:05It is I coming at you once again, your favourite Galactic hostess, Star Wars Meg.

00:11And today, we are once again returning to the Mandalorian in Grogu trailer,

00:15because some new information has come out, and a few keen-eyed viewers have noticed

00:19some crazy easter eggs, which we have to talk about, and I'm gonna break down.

00:24I'm also gonna be sharing with you a couple of interesting new theories,

00:27so it's gonna be a lot of fun.

00:28Now I have to be candid, I have to be honest with you guys,

00:32I'm not the biggest fan of a couple of these easter eggs.

00:34In fact, I think one of them is pretty stupid, and I really don't know why Disney is doing it.

00:39But before we take a single step into this jam-packed video,

00:42if you've not done so already, please be sure to hit the big subscribe button down below,

00:46ring the bell to be alerted every time that I post a new video,

00:49but no more jibber jabber, let's dive straight in.

00:53So we begin with an easter egg that I think is really strange,

00:56because Disney is marketing something that no longer exists.

01:00So, do you guys remember a couple of days ago,

01:03when I said that Lucasfilm is gonna market Grogu and the Unsellons,

01:06as a real selling point because of their cuteness?

01:09Well say what you want about that, at least it makes sense,

01:12because Disney is looking to sell new toys,

01:14t-shirts, there are gonna be a variety of different merch lines,

01:17coming from this movie,

01:19and even in the parks,

01:20they're doing an interactive experience at Galaxy's Edge,

01:23that connects to the Mansourine and Grogu.

01:25But what if I told you that Disney just plugged in an advert

01:28for the now-defunct Galactic Star Cruiser Hotel?

01:31You could argue they're just trying to commemorate it,

01:34but that's even more peculiar to me,

01:35because the Star Cruiser Hotel was dubbed one of the biggest

01:38Disney Star Wars failures ever.

01:41It was an underwhelming, sequel-centric, overpriced, immersive experience,

01:45and while there were some influencers who were compensated,

01:48flown out, paid for by Disney to say it was great,

01:51the exorbitant price just didn't justify the experience,

01:54and most rational Star Wars fans looked at this and said,

01:57well no wonder it closed.

01:58What's going on? I just popped through that door and I have no way.

02:02But now, in the year 2025,

02:05the Mandalorian and Grogu movie is about to remind us

02:08of the most bizarre wrinkle in recent Lucasfilm history.

02:1236 seconds into the trailer, fans can see a pair of footsteps

02:16walking through a puddle on a mysterious, neon-laden planet,

02:20which, by the way, my friends,

02:21has been confirmed to be Dayu from the Obi-Wan Kenobi show.

02:25In the reflection of the water,

02:27a banner ad for the Halcyon can be seen in the background,

02:31directly referencing the Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser Hotel.

02:35The scrolling commercial shows the Halcyon ship,

02:38along with the word Halcyon in Urabesh,

02:40seemingly advertising the Star Cruiser Hotel in-universe.

02:44And even though the Star Cruiser is the setting of a real-life hotel,

02:47in the story of Star Wars itself, in-universe,

02:50in Disney Star Wars canon,

02:51it has a long history dating back to the High Republic.

02:54It was a luxury Star Cruiser which we saw in the comics.

02:57Anakin and Padme once travelled aboard the ship,

03:00so did Leia and Han Solo.

03:01So I guess a major question is,

03:03is the Mandalorian and Grogu setting up another story aboard the ship,

03:06this time in live action, on screen?

03:09Not necessarily in this film, but in the Mandoverse more broadly.

03:13Would they really want to do this though,

03:15considering the real-life hotel is now closed?

03:18What's the motive?

03:19It's not going to generate them any money.

03:21So why do it?

03:22And I actually saw a really interesting question from the direct.com.

03:26If the now-defunct Disney World locale has been referenced in the upcoming film,

03:29what is stopping it from incorporating the hotel into the plot?

03:32I honestly don't know why the direct would even suggest this.

03:35I can't see a tangible way the Star Cruiser would fit into the Mandalorian and Grogu's plot,

03:40without just being a throwaway easter egg,

03:42but they're suggesting it could mean something more.

03:45I'm not going to take that seriously,

03:46but if they did do this,

03:48it would be a huge mistake.

03:50I really, really hope they don't go this route.

03:52Now here's what concerns me the most about this.

04:03Forget the fact the hotel was way too expensive.

04:06Your average family that enjoys Star Wars just couldn't afford it.

04:09It was expensive even compared to other Disney hotels,

04:13but it really is the aesthetics that bother me the most.

04:16It didn't have the Star Wars vibe.

04:17It was very cheesy,

04:19and they just tried to pass it off as the so-called most immersive,

04:22impressive Star Wars experience.

04:25Even the most edited, polished commercials for it on YouTube were very cringe,

04:29and everyone was saying,

04:30why did you set this in the sequel trilogy?

04:32Couldn't they have incorporated some fan-favorite planets?

04:35Maybe the Jedi Temple on Coruscant?

04:37Maybe have an experience as a Force user,

04:39where you get to decide if you want to go down a Jedi path,

04:41or a Sith path?

04:42This wasn't catering to most Star Wars fans.

04:45So I hope this isn't what the direct suggested,

04:47that this is going to be part of the story in some way.

04:49I'm hoping it's just a really weird, self-strokey Disney advert

04:53they just threw into the background.

04:55They did something similar in the Kenobi show.

04:57Do you remember the Mickey Mouse ears on Coruscant?

05:00It was in the flashback sequence where

05:01Episode 2, Anakin fights Obi-Wan as they're training.

05:06So maybe it's one of those things that if you notice it, you notice it,

05:08but if you don't, it doesn't impact the story.

05:10But what does is returning to the Obi-Wan planet of Dayu.

05:15Now, maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm really not a fan of this decision.

05:19It's a great example of where they might have cut corners,

05:22and an example of why the movie might end up so cheap.

05:25They're reusing locations from the TV show that looked the least impressive.

05:29And so while I do still remain optimistic,

05:31and while I do think some shots from the trailer were super impressive,

05:34the Ice Planet, Adelphi base,

05:37I'm really worried there's going to be a disparity between

05:39some of the wide shots,

05:41and then those that were filmed in the exact same format as the TV show.

05:44Why Dayu?

05:45Couldn't they have gone to a new planet?

05:47I was hoping this was going to be Nar Shaddaa,

05:49considering there are huts in the movie.

05:51But knowing this is exactly Dayu is kind of concerning.

05:54I said this, I think, just before Skeleton Crew came out.

05:57The Disney Star Wars universe feels very small,

06:00because even when they give us new locations,

06:02they're just another version of planets we know.

06:04Tatooine and Jakku, Starkiller Base and Hoth.

06:07So I'll be honest with you, I don't think this was a good idea,

06:10but not going to write the movie off.

06:11I still think it was a good trailer,

06:13but I guess now we know this planet we've seen before.

06:16I made a joke on Twitter.

06:18Do you think we'll see an older Reaver in the movie?

06:20I really don't think so.

06:22The last time we saw her, years prior to this,

06:25she defected from the Inquisitors on Tatooine.

06:27She had that emotional moment with Obi-Wan,

06:30but I have no idea what Lucasfilm has planned for her.

06:32So now moving on to our next easter egg.

06:36There is a very interesting scene from the trailer

06:38that I didn't break down for a reason.

06:40I was saving it for this video.

06:42I wanted to spend some time thinking about this,

06:44analysing this shot,

06:46and now I've come up with a theory I think you might enjoy.

06:48It might be a tad far-fetched,

06:50it might be me overthinking things,

06:52but as a Star Wars fan, you can dare to dream.

06:54So let's dive straight in.

06:56In this scene,

06:57Din Djarin is infiltrating some kind of underground vault.

07:01Now this is either a vault or a door,

07:03but if you look at the emblem on the front of it,

07:05it's the symbol of the Hutt clan,

07:07which aligns with the appearance of Rotter the Hutt,

07:10as well as the Hutt twins.

07:11Now as we know,

07:13from the rumours,

07:14one of the main missions of the movie is that Din has to capture Rotter,

07:17on behalf of the New Republic.

07:19And I reckon the Hutt might be aligned with the Remnant.

07:22The fall of the Empire and the death of Jabba the Hutt,

07:25left the Hutt cartel in a very strange position.

07:27There was a power vacuum,

07:29and in canon,

07:30much of this has not been explored.

07:32The Hutt's are still very influential in the Outer Rim,

07:35and they still have major influence in the criminal underworld.

07:38But their dealings with the Remnant,

07:39or the New Republic,

07:40are not yet established.

07:42Now here's where my crazy theory comes in.

07:45Let's say the Hutt's are collaborating with the Remnant.

07:47They've got a mutually beneficial relationship,

07:50there's spice involved,

07:51the underworld slave trade,

07:53profit from sporting events like gladiators,

07:55and the New Republic gets word

07:57that the Hutt's are helping to fund the Desperate Remnant.

08:00Because there are rumours that Johnny Coyne's warlord

08:02is the financier of the Shadow Council of the Remnant,

08:05I wonder if Din Djarin is trying to intercept some funds,

08:09ones that were going to advance the Remnant's military.

08:12Regardless, in front of the vault,

08:14there are two bodyguards,

08:15robotic mechanised cyborgs that might be part of this agreement,

08:19security provided by the Imperial Remnant.

08:22And the reason I say this is the one on the right

08:24looked very familiar to me.

08:27It's definitely not the same,

08:28but it reminded me of a creature we saw in Season 3,

08:31but on a different planet.

08:33Some features of this bodyguard

08:34remind me of the Spider-Tank droid from Mandalore.

08:37They are extremely different.

08:39The rustic, industrial, primitive, one-eyed look

08:42makes me think they might have been built by the same group.

08:45I could be way off,

08:46and I don't know if in these bodyguards

08:48there is a sentient creature inside of there,

08:50and it could just be that ILM reinvented a very similar design,

08:53and the one on Mandalore looked more like Grievous,

08:56but it was the first thing I thought of,

08:58and we still have no answers

08:59as to what the Spider-Tank droid was.

09:02So here's what I think.

09:03The Shadow Council built these creatures

09:05to protect and mine for valuable resources

09:08in the minds of certain planets.

09:10Each creature's suit is built for different purposes.

09:13The ones in the trailer look like bodyguards,

09:15but the one from the third season

09:17looks like it was built for purpose.

09:19Adaptive survival in a hostile environment,

09:22and the remnants might have sent it there

09:23after the Night of a Thousand Tears,

09:25built to mine remaining Beskar,

09:27and to kill and take the blood of

09:29any Mandalorians who came back.

09:31But to this day, they've never explained it.

09:33I wonder if these guys are connected.

09:35Even though their build is very different,

09:37they look like they could have been made

09:38by the same manufacturer.

09:40Very impressive robotic cyborgs nonetheless.

09:42And did you notice?

09:44Din Djarin is once again using a pulse rifle.

09:47So those are just a few easter eggs

09:48that I wanted to point out

09:50and discuss with you guys.

09:51But what do you think?

09:52Any thoughts and theories?

09:54Share them down below.

09:55And if you enjoyed this video, my dear friends,
